Jensen DG. Mañebog

Biography

JENSEN DE GUZMAN MAÑEBOG writes about philosophy, history, life lessons, education, and literature. He took up Bachelor of Arts degree (graduated summa cum laude), finished his Master's from University of the Philippines-Diliman, and completed doctoral level units.

He has been teaching History, Philosophy, Debate, Education, and Social Science subjects in some universities in Metro Manila, Philippines for many years. Also a textbook author and editorial consultant of some academic sites, his published textbooks (adopted by some universities), multidisciplinary researches, lectures, and blogs have been garnering various favorable comments and are used by other educators.

Graduated class valedictorian both in elementary and high school, the author is also a Professorial Lecturer in the Graduate School of a state university in Metro Manila and the President of the academic organization ELPAP (E-Learning Practitioners Association of the Philippines). His e-books were written in partnership with OurHappySchool.com and/or Philippine-Guide.com.

(In mid-2014, Prof. Jensen took on a holy vocation and voluntarily granted the full copyrights of his books to his partners/publishers.)

Even before other great Filipinos (like Manny Pacquiao, Efren Reyes, Paeng Nepomuceno, etc.) emerged in the scene, the Philippine national hero had already exhibited his superb multi-dimensional talents, skills, and abilities and the world had seen it. This book written in partnership with OurHappySchool.com and Philippine-Guide.com expounds Jose Rizal’s phenomenal accomplishments and legacies.

The lectures do not only present in non-technical manner the ethical theories of the leading philosophers from Socrates to John Stuart Mill but also critically evaluate them. A handbook/textbook, it also aims to help the readers develop a conscious ethical sense and become critical in choosing a moral system to live by. Written in partnership with OurHappySchool.com, the book is very educational.

Ultimately, this book humbly aims to empower readers to be critical so as to purify information, detect misinformation, prejudice, propaganda, spin, or deception, and thereby minimize the risk of advocating untruthful beliefs. Providing training in correct reasoning and debate, this work could save you from making bad decisions like devoting your time and resources to a false religion/ideology.

It critically evaluates the worldview of the popular belief system called atheism. Pertinently, this work discusses relevant atheistic ‘isms’ such as Naturalism, Materialism, Secularism, Humanism, Darwinism, and Scientism. Some topics discussed are: Can atheism truly account for the concept of right and wrong? Is the worldview offered by atheism plausible, sound, and practicable?

This book enchantingly features the respective lives of Jose Rizal’s (the Philippine national hero) parents and siblings. Identifying Jose’s relations to them, this work also tackles the ‘secrets’ of the Rizal family as it clarifies historical controversies and discrepancies about them. In light of new researches, this book also discusses what happened to them after Jose’s martyrdom.

The book provides a critical evaluation of evolutionism. It answers questions like, “Is evolutionism as a worldview philosophically sound?;” “What can we reasonably say about Darwinist-evolutionistic worldview as a belief system?;” and “Is the moral philosophy that it advocates sensible?” Somewhat, it also resolves the debate on whether or not we must remove God in the sphere of morality.
